Haunted by the memory of a girl he met four years previously, young artist El (Xavier Lafitte) sits outside a cafe in Strasbourg, sketching the customers and staff, hoping that somehow his actions will help refresh his image of the girl and increase the chances of their paths crossing once again. When one day he finally thinks he sees her, he sets off in pursuit, trying his best to remain in contact as she traverses the city, convinced that this time he will not let love get away.
